I'm afraid to be loved. But that doesn't mean I don't want to be loved. I know I say mean things about myself all the time, but I do that to protect myself from potential danger and unnecessary heartache. I'm only human, or perhaps a bit too human. I can't deal with too much hardship because it will only make me spawn an ocean of melancholy. And I do not want people to see me drown in my own weakness. I simply can't allow it. So I **** it up and carry on. You might think my mindset is brave and indeed it is, to some degree. But most of all it is painful. It's so ******* painful. But I'll get through it, I have to; until I crash and burn.
